February 24: Israel's Road Map to Peace

February 24, 1997, was the 1260th day after the signing of the "Road Map to Peace" by Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat in 1993. After Daniel 7:25 and 12:7, and a handful of passages in Revelation, 1260 days is the period expected to elapse between a significant event in Jerusalem, and the Tribulation. Thus this day became one of the many candidates for the apocalypse which Christian eschatologists have derived from events in the Middle East.
